Silver And Gold Dragees

Are any of you aware of silver and gold dragees available in the US that are FDA approved as food safe? The ones I see available are "decoration only" products. If you use the decoration only ones are you advising people to remove them, or what??

In Europe they are considered edible. Still, now that I know they are not FDA approved, I don't think I would feel comfortable putting, say, 25 dragees on a cookie when I know they'd all be eaten; but I wouldn't really worry about someone consuming, say, TWO!

Well, I ate them all the time when I was a child as my grandmother was an avid user of them on all of her cakes, and I to this day haven't grown a third arm and neither have my children!

This has got to be like the thing with laboratory animals getting cancer from artificial sweetners, but I read somewhere that in order for it to be a threat to humans we'd have to eat bathtubs full of the stuff!
